Circuit Court

These sentences were recorded in October in the office of Gerald Goad, clerk of the Carroll County Circuit Court, Hillsville:

HILLSVILLE –– The Carroll County girls won their semifinal Three Rivers District game against Giles in spectacular fashion Monday night, dominating the Spartans 92-24 and advancing to the tournament finals Tuesday night against Floyd County.

The Cavaliers (19-3) also broke the school record for 3-pointers, draining 14 to top the old record of 11.

Carroll County coach Marc Motley said Laken Alley had 12 assists in the game, tying a school record.

A clear and urgent message has come to me, which I feel behooved to share with the rest of America.
Last week, a gaggle of Republican lawmakers left D.C. for a most important enclave in Beautiful West Virginia. No doubt to give the cleaning staff time to shovel out all the crap in the halls of government. They mounted their conveyance with family and friends in tow and roared off down the Cumberland Valley.
They did not complete the trip on board their chartered train. On the way there was a mishap. Analyzing the event, I perceive a clear message.

The competitive swim teams at Galax and Carroll County are still in their relative infancy, but both are making great strides despite the struggles a new athletic program often experiences.

In its second season as a team sport at Carroll County, the Cavalier program earned a region championship by an individual and will be represented at the state level for the first time, while Galax will have two swimmers with a combined three region titles among its state contingent.

I would like to mention a loss of our basic rights of land ownership that is being deleted, slowly but surely.
I am told that Virginia mandates that counties must have either zoning or a subdivision ordinance but I don’t think that it mandates this 38-page monstrosity of Carroll County’s.
It appears to me that the intent and language of the ordinance is only concerned with development. There are reasons for land division other than development or housing.
